IMPROVEMENT IN SAFE-DOOR BOLTS.

TO ALLWI-IOMIT MAY GONCERN:

Be it known that I, JOHN R. PIEnsoN, of Newark, in the county of Essex, and State of New Jersey, have invented a-n improved Safe-Door Bolt; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a fnll', clear, and t exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the sante, reference being i had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

-Fignre 1 represents an inside elevation of sate-doors provided with my improvedibolts.

Figure 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the sam-e, the plane of section being indicated hy the lined: 2;, fig. 1.`

Similar letters of' reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a. new manner of locking safe-doors so that the same cannot be opened by the insertion of wedges or by blasting, but only when all the boltsare withdrawn.

The invention consists inthe arrangement, in safes having two doors, of two or more horizontal bolts in each door, which are connected so as to be operated from the lock, each bolt extendingentirely ncrossithe whole door, so as to lock into the other door and into thle casing on the side of the hinges.

A represents the casing of the safe; B and B are the doors, hinged to the casing in` the ordnarylmanner by suitable hinges. D Dare two or more" horizontal bolts arranged on the inner side of `each door, and con` nected by an upright bar, E,'or otherwise, so that all the bolts o n each door can be locked at the same time from the lock, as is indicated in fig. l; The bolts are longer than th e door, so that they project. frotn both ends l of `the same into the other door and into the casing, as shown in iig. 1. When both doors are thus.` locked, it will be impossible to open them by a wedge or by blasting, and both doors are still ii'mlylocked as longaszone single boi-t holds. When the doors are to be opened the` bolts must be drawn out of the opposite door intoor behind the casing. They will then be out ofthe way,` and will not prevent the doors-from being opened.

I claim as new, and desire to securevby Letters Patenti Arranging the bolts in safes having double doors so that they extend across the door, and can befiocked l at once into `the opposite door and into. the casing, two-or more bolts being provided each door, "sind operated `:tt once from the lock, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described.
